IN-DEPTH DRAGON SMILES IN NEW SCOURGE BEGINS TO NEPAL, BUT FROWNS TAKE A TOLL IN BANGLADESH

he second and more vicious wave of Cov- id-19 has just started to relent when an- T other scourge has emerged to create panic among the people. As the name suggests Mucormycosis or black fungus is a fungal disease. The mould ‘mucor’ is found almost every- where--- in soil, air, plants, rot- ting fruits and vegetables. It can be found even in the nasal pas- sage and mucus of healthy people. Black fungus may prove fa- tal for diabetics who are given steroids, a life-saving medica- tion for high-risk Covid patients or those on immune-suppres- sants. It targets sinuses, the brain and lungs. With rising cases of black fungus in the country, the Central government has advised states to declare Mucormycosis an epidemic under the Disaster Management Act. State governments are also not leaving any- thing to chance and are ensuring hospital beds and medicines for patients of black fungus. Although fatalities are still low, experts have to keep a sharp eye on the deadly fungus.
